“Genevieve did a great job taking care of our 3 girls while we were out of town. She followed our instructions well and we truly felt comfortable knowing they were in good hands.”

“Kimberly was incredibly responsible and communicative. Emmy (my siamese mutt) is an excellent judge of character and when I arrived home she was in excellent spirits, having obviously received a tremendous amount of attention and love. I will absolutely be working with Kimberly again, and I would encourage you to do the same -- she's terrific!”

“MJ was amazing. She did a great job with our girls and kept us to date the entire time. She not only did a wonderful job with our dogs, but kept our place looking great! Would defiantly recommend to anyone.”

“Trina and her dog cubby were excellent while taking care of our very energetic and sometimes anxious dog. Reliable, sent lots of photos, and our dog seemed very comfortable with her and cubby. Would definitely book again with her.”

“Shalese was a perfect dog sitter!! It was the first time my partner and I were leaving our high energy/anxiety pups with a sitter on River, and Shalese relieved all our own anxieties! She was very professional, clean, and clearly cared so well for our dogs as they are both still pooped from walking and playing with her! She did extra work than was even asked of her such as managing our home (cleaning, bringing in mail), and we are so grateful. We highly recommend Shalese to anyone and would book her again!”

“Ian was AMAZING with Cooper. Cooper can be a challenging pup, but C warmed up to Ian quickly and soon I got photos of them taking long walks, playing fetch and snuggling watching TV.”


About: My family has fostered puppies and kittens since I was 10, giving me over 12 years of experience in caring for animals. I love giving animals the best care possible and I’d love to meet yours! I currently work a hybrid schedule on the Stanford campus, allowing me to offer care in the mornings and evenings, as well as over lunch if needed. I’m also open to full-time care on the weekends and would love to spend time with your animals! Keeping your animals safe is my top priority! Understanding and upholding your expectations with your animals is my goal and key to keeping your animals safe!

“Zoe went above and beyond to make sure our dog was well taken care of while we were away! She was very reliable, communicative and helpful in every way. She even had to deal with an unexpected leak in our washing machine and handled it like a champ. We are so appreciative of her and would definitely ask her to dog-sit again!”

“Cordigen has looked after our two dogs 5 times this month, with the most recent visit being an all day plus evening care. She has proven to be the caregiver we hoped for. She is loving to the dogs, responsible, responsive and sends us updates during and after her visits. It is such a privilege to have a caregiver we trust, so we can focus on and enjoy activities away from our pets. We have appreciated her flexibility when our schedules have been in flux, as well as covering a last minute need. We plan to continue to request her services for all our pet caregiving needs.”

“Maria was amazing!! Cannot recommend her enough. It was the first time my partner and I have ever had an overnight sitter and we were pretty anxious about the whole process. Maria made us both feel so confident that our rambunctious girls were in good care :) she went above and beyond and was excellent at communicating with us and sending photos throughout our stay!”
“Guilherme took care of our dog and cat during the Christmas and new years holiday. He sent many updates with photos, helped bring the garbage bins inside and collect mail and left our home more organized than when we left. Highly recommend and definitely hope to use his services again when we travel. Thanks Guilherme!”

“John took excellent care of Lucy and the house while house sitting. Sent lots of updates and pictures so I felt I knew exactly how everything was going while I was away. Would absolutely love to have John take care of Lucy the next time we need to go out of town.”

“We loved having Stephanie care for Basil for 4 nights. She was very communicative, trustworthy and we came home to a very happy dog and a clean house. We will absolutely be having Stephanie come back to care for Basil again!”

“Summer was happy staying with CJ during my vacation. CJ was responsible and reliable sitter. I would highly recommend him as your dog sitter . And I’ll definitely book him again .”

“Jeanette was amazing. Jake was being difficult and wouldn’t come in but Jeannette wouldn’t give up and go to bed till she finally got him in at 3AM. I felt bad and told her to go to bed, but she wouldn’t until he was in. He is usually good for her and comes in before dark,, but not this time.”

“Sara was SO amazing! She was very attentive to Finny’s care instructions and sent plenty of videos and pictures to put my mind at ease while I was away from my kitty. Finny warmed up to her way faster than he usually does to new people, and she even brought him a new toy! I highly recommend her for house and pet sitting and will definitely be booking her again in the future :)”

“Alexis is amazing. Daily updates and photos, connecting with questions, and being super cautious. Made our experience traveling without our dog so much brighter. Sadie, our dog, has a new bestie in Alexis. She did a great job and I am so appreciative.”

Kimberly watched over our house and our very active, 2 year old Australian Shepherd for a week. During the week we were away Kimberly was very communicative, texting and sending pictures or videos every day. Our dog was well cared for, got great exercise and socialization. We returned to a house that was clean, neat and also well cared for. We highly recommend Kimberly.

Coco is great, and I highly recommend! She was great to communicate with, from initial reach out to scheduling meet and greet and the actual house-sitting. She was very detail oriented, caring & attentive to my dog, sending me frequent updates with pictures! I trust her and will absolutely book her again.

Emma looked after our house and, more particularly, our senior dog while we were away for two weeks. Emma provided regular updates and photos of our dog, which was great as it was the first time we had left her. Our dog was obviously very happy with Emma and seems quite disappointed to have been left behind with us. LOL. Emma left the house in perfect shape too.

What a wonderful experience for both my dog and I. Very attentive, detail oriented, and real care and effort put into her stay and caring for my dog. Great communication and shared many wonderful pictures and updates throughout the stay. Left my house looking better than I had left it. Would 💯 recommend and use again! She is wonderful

Is there a 6-star option? There should be! Stephen did an excellent job of caring for my dog and my house. From the pre-stay visit, to the gentle and appropriate reminders, detailed notes, and the charming and informative daily updates. Bonus: new skills and tricks were learned by my pooch! Stephen's gentle and calm approach -- superb!

Rachel was fantastic. She house sat for dog for seven days. From the beginning, she was communicative, responsive, and incredibly responsible. She sent regular updates and photos throughout the stay—enough that I always knew Banjo was doing well, but never so many that it felt excessive. When I got home, Banjo was relaxed, happy, and completely himself, which honestly tells me everything I need to know. He’s a pretty affectionate little Velcro dog, and it was obvious he’d been well cared for. Rachel even came back later to take him on one last walk because of my return time, let me know when he’d last gone potty, and left him with a Kong before she headed out. Those little thoughtful touches really stood out. She also left my home spotless and organized, and I felt completely comfortable having her in both my home and Banjo’s care. Being able to travel without worrying about your dog is priceless, and Rachel gave me exactly that. I was able to be present with my family because I knew he was safe, happy, and in excellent hands. I genuinely can’t think of anything she could have done better. I’d book her again without hesitation and recommend her to anyone looking for an exceptional sitter.

Austin was phenomenal! Super communicative and helpful. I am so grateful for his excellent care of our 2 corgis. This was our first time using a sitter who wasn’t family, and Austin made the experience so easy from the initial meet and greet through the end of the sit. I will definitely book again the next time we travel!

Kendall is terrific. She cares and connected quickly with my pup. She is conscientious, offered to come and meet my dog before the visit. She asked questions about emergency plans, feeding, medications and her best schedule. She was tidy, punctual and helpful, even sending me photos and relaying my dogs attitude and energy level throughout her stay. I highly recommend Kendall - 5 stars!

We had an excellent experience with Julie and would highly recommend her. Her communication was outstanding from start to finish, and we appreciated the daily photos and updates that kept us informed and reassured while we were away. Julie was punctual, dependable, and clearly cared for our dog as if it were her own. We also returned to a spotless home, which was such a wonderful bonus after traveling. We wouldn't hesitate to book with Julie again!

Korinne was fantastic. She took care of my kitty for 4 days and spent ample time with him, stayed the night, provided several updates a day and made me feel that he was well taken care of. Will definitely try to have her visit again in the future when I need help!

This was our second time booking Stephanie to watch our senior dog. She took great care of her and we came home to a happy dog. We appreciated that she took out the trash and kept our house clean. We are thankful to have found a great sitter to give us peace of mind while we’re traveling. Thanks for all of your help, Stephanie!

Jaya was super accomodating and flexible with the dates. My dog Mila was super comfortable with her. Jaya had excellent communication and took great pics, kept regular updates. I was able to travel with peace of mind, so I will continue booking with her again for sure!
